It's going to be tough to find a CF good enough to replace him. Excellent D, Excellent speed, and a good enough bat. He's Lite-switch-hitting-Cobb with an arm and I'm here for it.
Lofton is better

I'm probably average at all the showdowns but complete them all.
This one is stupid.
I had Soto in the leadoff spot.
First boss he homered on the first pitch to complete that one.
Second boss, SF on the first pitch to complete that one.
Third boss, 3 run homer on the 2nd pitch (first pitch was a ball) to complete that one.
Last boss, homered on the third pitch (first 2 were balls) and I was done.
I saw 7 pitches combined for the 4 bosses.
I never had an at bat with any other player I drafted except Soto. lol.
That was ridiculously easy/lucky but even without that start, you could almost compete that showdown with your eyes closed.
It is incredible to me how many posts like this there are.....it's a daily thing. Sometimes multiple people.
And imagine the people that don't post it.
And what are the odds, the other person will actually read the post?
And if he does, you've just made his day!
WOW.
I'm still waiting to see the situation where they BOTH post about the other quitting LOL.
There actually needs to be a separate category in the community Forum titled "Freeze Offs."
@spinningmantis_xbl said in 2 Way Player not showing In BA leaders:
double checked-
Team Record: 62-34 (= 96) x 3.1 = 297.6
My Player: 335 Plate Appearances
League BA Leader: (same # of games) 322 PAAlso of note:
In League > Statistics > Player Statistics > Season - Position Players (shows stats of team's entire roster)
and
In League > Statistics > Player Statistics > Season - Second Basemen
No hitting stats at all are shown at all for my 2 Way player- it seems like two way players tagged with SP are not recognized as a position player alsoMy info:
Xbox One
RTTS mode
SP/2B two way player
I'm on PS5 and I noticed all this 2+ weeks ago so it clearly has been incorrect all along for many.
Like you, the only league leaders I show up in are the categories that don't have plate appearance or Innings pitched requirements regardless of having qualified
And as you pointed out, you are never listed in the team hitting stats only pitching.
When I was in AA I wasn't listed on the organizational roster the entire year.
You get loads of XP in Conquest. 3 inning games, pretty easy to win and you get 1500+ XP each game and a good chunk of stubs. I've already got over 125K XP just from Conquest alone.

@jackovang_psn said in 2 Way player not qualifying for Batting Avg, Slugging and OBP leader:
My Ball Player is a 2-Way player that is a full time SP. The first 2 seasons he did not have enough PA to qualify but I'm in the middle of the 3rd season and have 486 PA in 141 team games (3.44 PA) and still don't qualify when I look at the league leaders. Did they design the game to never allow a full time SP to lead the league in these categories?
It took a few years until the awards actually registered.
The first maybe 2 years I led all 3 hitting categories but it never registered my batting average even though I was well above.
I noticed a season or so later it finally started to keep track and I won the golden crown
What's the "golden crown?" Or did you mean the Triple Crown?
I asked this question a week ago when I got to the bosses and was told the xp boost for inning 2 was likely going to be nerfed this year but who knows for sure. Apparently last year it equaled about 1/4 of your progress for inning 2.
The thing is if you play a lot and there are no server issues!!!!!! you can get XP quite easily and quickly and locking those 3 cards to your collection, making them unsellable might not be what you want to do.
I'm going to wait and see how it looks.
I homered on the 3rd pitch I saw. I'm thinking I got lucky it didn't turn into a 1/2 hour nightmare. lol

bro you're almost 60 playing ps4??? lol i aspire to be you one day
I have a PS5. Why is that a thing?
I think he was saying it's awesome you are still playing video games when you're so "old" and he hopes he is too at that age.
BTW, I'm 68 and playing MLB, FIFA, WOW, CYBERPUNK and many, many more.
I love how all the young'uns can't believe anyone over the age of 50 still has enough brains left to play video games. lol
Rule 5.08 in the MLB Rules:
APPROVED RULING: One out, Jones on third, Smith on first, and Brown flies out to right field. Two outs. Jones tags up and scores after the catch. Smith attempted to return to first but the right fielder’s throw beat him to the base. Three outs. But Jones scored before the throw to catch Smith reached first base, hence Jones’ run counts. It was not a force play.

Tatis is light years ahead of Franco. Soto is probably the best right fielder as well.
What Tatis card? His diamond 95? It's not even close to Franco's 99 card
99 Finest in TA
Ah, ok, I haven't played that much in the past month or so and haven't bothered with anything I couldn't buy. I thought he must have a 99 card like everyone else lol.

I got Franco the day it came out and love him. I hit great with him, he's my second best hitter after Eddie Murray (on a team of all 99's like everyone has now). Plus he's a great fielder and I love switch hitters. I have no plans to even try anyone else.
I love Boggs, have always hit great with him. I got Eddie Murray as soon as his card came out and he is awesome for me, easily the best all around hitter on my team which like everyone now is all 99's. Being a switch hitter helps and he's a good fielder.
I've noticed that problem for years. The runners sometimes "freeze" on a line drive or fly ball that could be caught but then don't move after the ball drops in or is caught. So I've seen them fail to advance or fail to return to the base and get doubled off.
You really have to keep your eye on them.

I still wont win.... I cant beat SHowdown no matter what I become too impatient
I’m not trying to be rude, but if you can’t beat this showdown then I genuinely don’t understand how you’re able to accomplish anything at all in this game.
It’s seriously as easy as people are saying it is.
I keep losing on the 3rd boss because of terrible base-running and no pitches over the plate. I agree the first two rounds are easy and perhaps I'm pressing way too much.
To be fair, I'm not great at online hitting, I'm great at pitching but that doesn't help with this showdown. But I rarely have trouble with cou hitting and I beat the first inning showdown (the real one) Guess I'll just keep trying. I wish I could laugh it off and finish it in 7 pitches like you all but it's my first year playing the game and I have trouble laying off bad pitches.
I see you finished it, congrats!
Yeah the third boss is the toughest.
And BTW me doing in on 7 pitches was extraordinarily luckily. I could never come close to that again.

Only other showdown I have done this year was the beginner showdown, and with this one I didn't even get past three batters deep!
Seriously, just do it. I saw 7 pitches total over 4 bosses to complete it.
That was lucky but they are ridiculously easy. One is runner on 3rd and 5 outs to score him.
Last boss is 20 outs to get 1 run with a stacked lineup..
By the end you'll have 6 97-99 Diamonds and two golds, you never play D so positions don't matter. And great diamond perks. It's stupid.I did do it. I meant that there wasn't a time where I needed more than 3 hitters to beat the boss. I was one of the first, if not the first, to say how easy it was! https://forums.theshow.com/topic/44244/it-s-afternoon/
Gotcha. I misread your post.

No it is ridiculous easy, I suck at them and won't even attempt them normally, this one is only 3 mini bosses and going into the final showdown tied 15-15 with 20 outs to go. I don't know if SDS could make a easier showdown to be honest
And you get to stack your team with multiple 99s and even more 90+ cards.
Which would be fun in most showdowns but like I said, I never got past my leadoff hitter for all 4 bosses. It was really kind of a letdown.
